HIGHLIGHTS

In the first nine months of 2017 results were in line with expectations despite some extraordinary

costs related to the reorganisation of the company governance

Revenues of Euro 186.9 million (Euro 178.9 million in the same period of 2016): the increase was

due to the presence of the international congress ERS and the different exhibition portfolio, partially

offset by a decrease in the stand-fittings business

Gross operating profit of Euro 2.7 million (Euro 14.6 million in the same period of 2016), affected

by the different exhibition calendar, some extraordinary costs and costs for the launch of new

proprietary exhibitions

The 3rd Quarter includes a structurally weak period for Fiera Milano and the exhibition business due to

the absence of activity in Italy in the summer months and the postponement of an important

exhibition

Net exhibition space occupied in Italy: 175,850 square metres (32% from directly organised

events) compared to 214,695 square metres in 3Q16

Revenues of Euro 45.1 million (Euro 40.3 million in 3Q16) increased mainly due to ERS, partially

offset by the postponement of an exhibition

Gross operating loss of Euro 10.8 million (a loss of Euro 6.6 million in 3Q16) mainly because of the

aforementioned postponement and lower margins from the stand-fitting business

Net operating loss of Euro 12.9 million (a loss of Euro 9.1 million in 3Q16)

On 28 September 2017, the Milan Court – Prevention Court Independent Section revoked the

Administration Order

STAND-FITTING SERVICES

• The year-on-year decrease in quarterly revenues was

primarily due to the aforementioned postponement of the

exhibition and lower activities; the gross operating result

was affected by extraordinary costs

• The year-on-year decrease in revenues and margins for the

first nine months of 2016 was attributable to lower revenues

from customised stand-fittings and non-exhibition contracts

present in 2016, as well as the absence of activities related

to Expo 2015

MEDIA

Gross of adjustments for inter-segment transactions

• The year-on-year decrease in revenues for the quarter was

due to a reduction in sponsorship, print advertising and

billboard advertising; the gross operating result was in line

with the figure for the third quarter 2016

• In the first nine months of 2017 there was also a negative

impact on the revenues due to the different exhibition

calendar. The year-on-year change in the gross operating

result reflected lower revenues offset by lower personnel

costs and rental costs

NET FINANCIAL POSITION

The increase in net debt compared to 30 June 2017 was due to the negative cash flow caused by the

absence of activity in summer months and the decrease in cash flows from working capital, mainly

attributable to the advance payment of the six-monthly rental charge; this was, in part, offset by the cash-

inflow received for exhibitions to be held in subsequent months

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

• The performance in the first nine months of 2017 was positive and in line with expectations.

The biennial exhibition Host, the leading professional hospitality exhibition worldwide, which was

held after the end of the quarter under review, reached another record with a 24% increase in

trade visitors; this figure reflects a generally improving trend

• Despite some extraordinary costs for consultancy fees linked to the restructuring of corporate

procedures and barring any currently unforeseen events or circumstances, the full-year forecast

is for a significant year-on-year improvement in the gross operating profit thanks to a more

favourable exhibition calendar in the fourth quarter

• The Company remains focused on identifying an optimum corporate strategy that, together

with its restructured and strengthened corporate governance, will ensure value creation for

all Company stakeholders
